A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Thorsell: Hi. Go see Dr. Thorsell at Sierra Vista. She's an excellent endocrinologist, and can get your mom's diabetes squared away. She will need healthy diet advice, regular exercise; drug choice has multiple options. Often multiple drugs are required. Tight control is very worth it! Good luck to her!
